Loud Thunder Forest Preserve Camping

Camping is open from April 1 through October 31, weather permitting. Loud Thunder camping season is now open.

Camp the way you like. We understand that some people like to pitch a tent and cook over the open fire, and others just don’t. That’s okay with us because we have campsites for both. There are five campgrounds located within the Loud Thunder Forest Preserve. Please be aware that it is Loud Thunder's policy to not issue refunds or reschedule for reservations.

North Shore – located next to the Mississippi River

Riverview Campground – 30 primitive campsites (non-electric) along the Mississippi River with boat ramp access to the Mississippi River, hiking trails, bathroom & shower building, water access, and picnic area

Indian Meadows – 22 primitive campsites with shower building and water access

White Oak – 25 RV campsites with electricity and water hookups and shower building
